Found a trombone when I was really quite young...
picked it up and blew hard into it (wouldn't you?).
Continued against the explicit advice of a number of well-credentialed teachers and polite incomprehension of parents.
Survived a healthy dose of jazz bands, music collage, musical-theater, experimental-electronic ensembles, lounge bands, rockabilly gangs, afrobeat scoundrels, free-improvisation groups, session lockdowns, international tours, imaginary folk bands and symphony orchestras.
From North Yorkshire to New York
I'm still here...
